Friday-Gush Etzion and Chevron!!!

Friday:
We woke up at 6:00 because we had to make it to go to different places as to get to chevron on time to get ready for Shabbos. As soon as we got ready davened and ate. Then we got to a pottery place. We split into three groups. I went to do pottery!!! And the other two groups went on a hike and then we switched. We went to Gush Etzion (it's a place where the Avis walked!). It's also the place where many Jews fought to survive during the War of Independence. Hundreds of Jews were killed bet there in the place and years after these Jews were killed, their grandchildren came back and settled there. They settled there even though there are many Arabs there.
We ate lunch and continued on our way to Chevron!
On Shabbos it was Ramadan for the Arabs,  so we davened outside of Mearas Hamachpaila. It was beautiful! Then we went to eat the Shabbos meal, ad then there was a wonderful  optional farbgrengen till 2:00am!!
